Defining TACACS+ Settings

The devices provide Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) client
support. TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the device.
TACACS+ provides a centralized user-management system, while still retaining consistency with
RADIUS and other authentication processes. TACACS+ provides the following services:
• Authentication — Provides authentication during login and via user names and user-defined
passwords.
• Authorization — Performed at login. Once the authentication session is completed, an
authorization session starts using the authenticated user name. The TACACS+ server checks
the user privileges.
The TACACS+ protocol ensures network integrity through encrypted protocol exchanges between
the device and TACACS+ server. To open the TACACS+ Settings page, click System→
Management Security→ TACACS+ in the tree view.
